Wedding DJ at Three Rivers Golf & Country Club

Three Rivers sits on over 300 acres of Essex countryside near Cold Norton, with two golf courses and three separate function suites, so it works just as well for an intimate afternoon ceremony as it does for a 150-guest evening party. If you're planning a wedding there, I've put together what I'd want to know as your DJ, and what you'll want to know as the couple booking one.

Golf and country clubs like this one have become a genuine alternative to the traditional marquee-and-manor-house wedding, and I think that's a good thing. You get a proper car park, a venue that's used to running events every weekend, staff who know their own building inside out, and grounds that photograph beautifully without the price tag of a stately home. The trade-off is that you're not the only wedding they'll ever host in that room, which is exactly why choosing your own entertainment rather than accepting whatever comes with the venue matters.

Setting Up at Three Rivers

The function suites here are built for events, which makes my job easier: proper power, a sensible layout for a dancefloor, and room to set lighting up so it reaches the whole space rather than just the DJ booth. Because the venue sits away from any immediate neighbours, there's generally less pressure on volume and cut-off times than you'd get at a village hall or a hotel with rooms upstairs, though I'll always confirm your specific finish time with you in advance.

I'll arrive in good time to set up around your room layout, run a sound check before your guests arrive, and stay flexible on timings if your ceremony or wedding breakfast overruns — which, in my experience, they usually do by at least twenty minutes.

If Three Rivers asks for supplier paperwork before confirming the booking, my PAT testing certificate, Public Liability Insurance and risk assessment/method statement are all available on request.
